I hate the American Beauty theme. Don't know why. Guess it's overused.

Oh no really?
Sorry. I love it - I only saw American Beauty for the first time last year and I think the soundtrack is amazing.

I wish Matt Bellamy would fuck right off with his talented little hamster face. *jealous*

EDIT - one of my favourite piano pieces ever. I'm trying to coax myself back in to playing my damn piano by re-learning this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LXl4y6D-QI

I only ever got halfway learning Butterflies and Hurricanes
got a decent way into Space Dementia though.

EDIT: Need to complete this. I can play 2/3rds.

Fiddly.
I was never that good, but then I never had lessons or indeed a piano to practise on as a kid/teen.

It's my grade 8 piece.
That I've not taken :( The other piece I actually liked was this:

No way as good as this girl. Getting 29/30 at grade 8 is just STUPID.

Also, this is one of my favourite pieces to play
I love Debussy.

I was about grade 5/6
when I practised most days. I can probably still hammer out grade 3/4 with ease, but a 5 or 6 would be a struggle now. Also, my eyesight's gotten more crap since then and I have to squint to both see and work out the notes.
/getting old fail

EDIT - fucking hell that girl is good.

I probably got to around grade 8 standard, but my repertoire is crap.
I either play old grade pieces, or things from the Children's Corner Suite. Or occasionally teach myself easy bits of Chopin.
Oh, and the Gnossiennes. Fucking love the Gnossiennes.
